Question

Hello, I am interested in the power suply unit 'Best Value Alpine 500W
PSU 120mm Red Fan'. I see most of the user comments are god about it,
but I also see a feedback that is negative and says that it
intereferes electrically with other devices, like the phone landline.
From your experience , is this power supply unit good, does it have
interference with the devices in the house? I am interested in a power
suply unit that gets the job done, nothing fancy, but I do not want it
to interfere with other devices from my house. Please give me an
honest answer, if it does have some issues I'll go for a more
expensive one, but I'll still buy it from BT because I am really
happy with the customer services and everything :).
Thanks and regards,
Codita Andrei

This great, little PSU is currently powering my system which is my file server, main storage device and gaming system.

It was easy to install in the case and had more than enough Molex and SATA power connectors for all of my four hard drives and one optical drive.

It doesn't come with a three-pin wall outlet cable, but how many PSUs do. My system runs 24/7 and has not lost power since being turned on in January. Its fan runs very quietly and smoothly.

as the tittle says i cant understand the bad review, im not using this psu for a computer but a rc lipo charger which puts more strain on it then a pc. im running this psu for 5 hours a day straight pulling 22amps/250 watts constant and the psu stays cool, 34c tops. the only bad thing is that under load the voltage drops to 11.65v, which is no problem for me but could cause some problems for heavy load use on a pc for the price this is a amazing psu

This is a pretty good psu. Very quiet and seems very stable. It replaced a one year old CiT psu that was twice the price and had a fan that was making a fair grinding noise off and on. Pretty pleased so far and thanks to BT shop for very quick delivery, impressed.

was great for a year

It was fine for a year,,, then it blew the motherboard. After a painful return process and being without my baby over xmas. It blew the motherboard again. These things are ok but when buying a psu do you really want to risk the rest of your machine to save £20 on a psu.

Get something with some weight .... some parts in it.

After puting together my first computer, I could not figure out what I had done wrong my husband checked everything and noticed looking through the grill inside your power supply was a fuse not connected one end, I was very upset as I only bought this item on your reccomendation I will be returning this item as soon as possable.

I'm not an idiot, everything was rigged up just fine. Conclusion; cheap, rubbish PSU. Time to open the purse strings...

received this psu as a 500w replacment for my current psu of which is now 2 years old but still in good condition but a little noisey. on opening the new alpine 500w psu I noticed have incredibley light the box was i was unsure if there was actually anything inside, however i found a black psu of which was very lightweight certainley not 2KG as stated. the psu actually weighs less than 1KG ?
I fitted the psu and immediatley my mother reported that the telephone had interfierence when i switched on the psu as she was on a call?
On closer inspection the psu seems to have no
EMI filter or any signs of PFC infact the internal circuit board was redundant of several components I have sent this PSu to trading standards as products this poor should not be allowed to enter the UK I have advised BT and they are in the process of refunding me .
I have fitted my old FSP branded power supply back in to my PC !
